“But I am the Lord your God,
Ever since the land of Egypt;
(A)I will again make you dwell in tents,
As in the days of the appointed feast.
10 (B)I have also spoken by the prophets,
And have multiplied visions;
I have given [a]symbols [b]through the witness of the prophets.”

11 Though (C)Gilead has idols—
Surely they are [c]vanity—
Though they sacrifice bulls in (D)Gilgal,
Indeed their altars shall be heaps in the furrows of the field.
